CC vs LM Dream11: It’s time for the quarterfinals in the Nicaragua Basketball League 2020 season and Costa Caribe will be hoping to make the most of the home advantage in the first game when they host Leones MGA on Thursday morning (IST). Caribe made the easy meal of Naddaime in the last round, winning both the games to qualify for the quarters. They finished fourth on the regular-season power ranking with 16-3 return and are one of the favourites to lift the title this season. Leones MGA finished outside the top half of the table in the regular season and finished with a negative return at 9-10. But they showed in their 2-0 sweep of Chinandega in the last series that they are a threat.
Season match-up: Costa Caribe | Leones MGA Games: 19 | 19 Wins: 16 | 09 Defeats: 03 | 10 Total Points scored: 1409 | 1276 Points conceded: 1062 | 1464

Jose Perez is also carrying a knock and will also be monitored just before the match. Daniel Tenorio didn’t feature in the last game but should be available for this match. Manuel McKenzie should be available for selection after missing the last two games, while Billy Gallardo is also a doubt for this match. Note: Rogelio Bermudez Manzanarez may not be a good option, while Herry Zelaya, Peter Martinez, Kevin Alvarado, and Mario Garcia can be ignored by Dream11 players.
